TeleCheck® Live VerifySM Service |
|
|
|
A cost-effective, real-time verification and risk management solution for merchants that process a high volume of check transactions. |
Large merchants who want to avoid the costs of full-service check verification have traditionally maintained their own databases or used day-old, distributed negative files. The internal solutions have become less effective with the increased sophistication and frequency of fraud. With the TeleCheck® Live Verify℠ solution, merchants have access to one of the most current and comprehensive check writer negative and activity databases, and risk management tools to protect against fraud and minimize returned checks. |

|
Fraudulent check writing increasingly confronts large merchants and solutions at the point-of-sale have been either antiquated, unable to adapt to the changing nature of fraud, or for some merchants, too costly. Doing it yourself in the form of maintaining databases can be expensive and time-consuming to manage, expending internal resources that could be used to support other areas of your business. Also, continuing to improve the functionality and coverage of the databases to combat the new dimensions of fraud can be a burden on your organization. |
|
The TeleCheck Live Verify service provides merchants with dynamic, real-time negative and activity databases for all transactions. Additionally, it uses a proprietary switch that forwards higher risk transactions to full risk management systems. The patent-pending TeleCheck Live Verify service is the first hybrid solution of its kind and is available for merchants that process a high volume of transactions.
How It Works
At the point-of-sale, merchants send check transactions to TeleCheck for verification. During the authorization process, TeleCheck filters the check writer transaction information through the TeleCheck databases and risk management tools to evaluate the check writer’s history.
A proprietary switch directs higher-risk transactions through the advanced adaptive decisioning and scoring system for full risk management evaluation. This intelligent switch helps maximize risk prevention and minimize cost for merchants.
